As we continue our Week 7 focus on Life Management – Part 3: Physical Care, we turn today to APPLICATION. While we have been quite intentional about applying what we’ve been learning each day in week 7, today, we want to become even more intentional in applying physical care to our lives. For today’s application, we’re going to focus again on the area of exercise. Here’s the project: Consider the part (if any) exercise plays in your daily life management processes. If you are intentional about exercise right now respond to these questions: How is my physical training contributing to my training for godliness? How do I see my overall physical health being impacted by my exercise program? (For example, has it impacted your weight, your blood pressure, your sense of wellbeing?) Based on this reflection, is there anything I am going to change about my physical training (exercise)? If so, what? Be specific. If you don’t engage in any kind of exercise respond to these questions: Is my lack of exercise due to a physical limitation? (If, yes, then you are done with this application time.) If you don’t exercise and physical limitations aren’t stopping you, what are you going to do to engage in some physical training? (Remember, start with moderation. Don’t try to make up for months or years of inactivity with one workout.) If you need some help in getting started, do you know where to start? If so, make an “appointment” with yourself to contact the person, place and keep that appointment. If you don’t know where to start, and you want to get started, contact me at chris@newlifexn.org.

Heavenly Father, Thank You for caring about all aspects of my life: my body, soul-mind, emotions and will, and spirit. Fill me with the Holy Spirit that I may be empowered to move forward with taking care of the body You have entrusted to me. This I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
